Dear Belly,

We vary our diet. I love fish - especially rockling
and barramundi. But they're not cheap either.
I make delicious potato pancakes. I make dumplings
filled with pork. I make a delish Russian salad
of potatoes and veggies. I make pasta dishes.

But we still love our meat. From chicken, to steak,
to mince, to snags. (Coles have great snags of
cider and pork) which I can recommend. Plus out
local butcher sells great home made snags.

Not sure if I'd try alternatives to what we already eat.
So far - it's not been a problem for us. If we have
to do without meat - we'd cope. I've got plenty of
pancake, dumpling, rice, and omelette recipes to fall back on.
Also good old french toast works as well. As do onion,
Tund, sardine, and egg sandwiches.

Runner much the same here when working price was never a consideration, now?if it is cheap it is not worth eating
Chicken from ALDIS is value pork not bad the rest?
A ready made market exists with vegetarians and vegans for this new meat
Because it is manufactured it looks like over sized hamburgers
We should consider what happens if say ten percent of the market is gained
A very real possibility here and in our export markets if it is both good and the right price
How then will it affect our meat growers, will prices here and export fall, will we use more water in growing the vegetable matter to make it
Long time refugee from that steak house, it charges more than most, not seeing a T bone on my plate any time soon
Foxy yes fish, cheap at the right time of year a box of Mullet goes in my freezer when they run 3 bucks a kilo cleaned

Dear Belly,

We're still so lucky in this country to have
choices. I can do wonders with eggs and spuds
and beans.

I won't go beyond trying it just to see what it tastes like, anyway it's "hypocrite" food.

I eat very little beef and that mostly at McDonald's, as I get a constant supply of venison, both raw and corned, from a mate.
I take a fair few hares and rabbits and the freezer is well stocked with goat as well; all shot and prepared by myself.

Very cheap and tasty meat.

Just for reference, the reporter on the show Belly is talking about tried a fake chicken nugget. He said it cost about $100 to make. So a little way to go yet.

Still, its nice to see the ABC doing some advertising for favour industries.

Anybody got a good recipe for roast pork?

I just can't seem to get the crackle right.

I've followed some of the recipes on Google - still
not getting it right.
